This project investigates the social discursive processes involved in developing and implementing new imaging modalities in the clinic? It is an interdisciplinary project, combining the perspectives of philosophy, social science, clinicians and other health care practitioners, scientists and engineers.

The questions that direct our study include:

What is the role of imaging technologies in the diagnosis and treatment of a complex disease, such as pulmonary hypertension?

How do imaging technologies mediate knowledge and practice in interdisciplinary and cross-sector contexts?

How does expertise operate in clinical decision-making?

What is the process of developing and implementing new imaging techniques and technologies?
